Take your spot there at the podium. As always, you'll have three minutes to share with us. Okay. I was looking over these papers that I got with, um, the contracts for teachers and administrators and things. And in, uh, one of these packets, it lists, um, additional pay schedules, um, for like basketball coaches, volleyball, um, any extra e- I'm assuming extracurricular activities.
Out of the 178, um, coaches et cetera, 31 have to do with academics, 147 have to do with sports, band, drama, those, those type activities. That's, so only 17% are for academics or, um, department chairpersons, whatever that is. Um, (smacks lips) the, I have been kind of accused by the board of not liking
sports, drama, and band, and that's not true as I discussed with a couple members and I think they understood what I was saying. Um, so again, I say that $322 million is a lot to spend on sports, drama, and band when academics in the township are lacking. 28% are proficient at, in third grade in math and English, yet only s- 17% of the
extracurricula has to do with academics. I think that's a sad comment on where the, um, township wants to put its money. So I hope it's not too late to reconsider your, um, contract for band and sports and theater. It's a waste of money. Thank you, Ann. Uh, next tonight, items requiring action. Um, we do have 3.01, the personnel report and supplemental personnel report. Move to approve.
Second. Motion is made by Mrs. Hartman and seconded by Mr. Lewis. Are there questions or comments? Hearing none, we'll vote. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Aye. Aye. Oppose, nay. Nay. 3.01 is accepted. Before we move on, Mrs. Pollard. Thank you, board. Good evening. I would like to invite Perry Meridian High School Principal, Mr. K- Boedeker and Mr. Zac Erwin to the front. And we're gonna let Mr. Boedeker introduce hi- introduce his new
associate principal. Good evening, members of the board. Uh, I'm very proud to make this announcement this evening. Mr. Zac Erwin is our new associate principal at Perry Meridian High School. Let's hear it for him. (applause) Yeah. Uh, so I- I could have majors. ... I would be, tonight is my wife, Noon, and my son, Sian-Liang. Take the glasses off. He's about 10, 11 weeks old. Oh my gosh. Yeah, so they came with me tonight. And then I do have, uh, one of my friends, Nick, uh, traveled
here as well to be with us and then Sarah who I wanted to say thank you for coming as well, and a couple of people watching online as well. (laughs) Yeah. So, yeah, very excited. Thank you. You're welcome. Yeah. Of course. Our, uh, main focus tonight is a facilities update, but if you were, uh, here to celebrate with Zac, you are welcome to duck out at this point. We won't think anything of it. So again, most of
our, um, information this evening is related to the facilities update. Dr. Spray? Yeah, so, um, I introduced Misha with Lanser Associates. Uh, we're gonna talk through a bit about the addition, um, in phase one, um, taking place at both Southport High School and Perry Meridian High School. Um, this, through this process of design development, um, our scope tends to grow larger and then when we get our budget estimate, it gets back to reality. And so they're gonna talk about that a little bit, talk about timeline, but then also a little bit, uh, as far as that timeline, how phase
two is layered over the top of phase one. And so those, um, programs will, are going to already, the development, the design portion, um, early stages, um, for the next phase of the, of the total project. Right. Okay. Thank you, Dr. Spray. Hello everybody. Thanks for having me back. Uh, Misha with Lanser Associates. Uh, and I will talk more about design and kind of what's the layouts of the additions in phase one are currently. Uh, and then, uh, David with Skillman, the construction
manager, he's gonna talk more about budgets and timelines a little bit more. Uh, so, uh, feel free to kind of ask questions as I go along. Um, I will start, uh, with kind of this is our team of, consultants that's working on the project, making sure that's from structural all the way down to technology and kind of we all, m- it's all getting taken care of. And I will start with the Southport side.... right. Uh, so the addition to this building is going to be on
the southeast corner of the building. Uh, so this is that, uh, white portion of the building, uh, and then there's, uh, a little bit of, uh, additional parking lots. We are... With that additional parking lot, we are pretty much replacing, uh, what we're losing with the building addition, so a net zero. There's also a yellow portion of the parking lot to the right. That we will bid as an alternate bid, so that's an add- uh, additional parking that will get you additional, I think, uh, 77 spots.
Uh, so if, uh, they will fit within the budget, great, we can afford it. If not, we're still good on the parking for the building. And then to the south of the green portion, uh, there's gonna be some, uh, dry detention. That's that blue rectangle to the left. So it's rendered in a blue color, but it's gon- going to be dry. There is gonna- not going to be any standing water there. And then to the right, w- uh, it's just going to be pretty much green space, um, with, uh, shot puts
and discus throw. We've also kind of outlined that you could fit potentially two football fields worth of practice, but that's just to show you the scale of how much green space you still have on site. Is... I- that is current... and maybe this is- Mm-hmm. ... too far in the process. That current area is fenced in, like we fenced that in, what, maybe like five years ago, I think, that green space. It... That will still be fenced in,
correct? Uh, I think we haven't quite discussed it- Okay. But if there is a desire to get it fenced in to make sure that it's all enclosed, then- Perfect. ... yes, we'll take a look at it. This is the overall building layout of all the spaces that we currently have in the project for this phase one edition. So starting from the right side, that purple is the four court, uh, student activity center, um, there. So it's, uh, four basketball courts worth of space with a four lane.
Uh, we're calling it a jogging track around it. Uh, all of those courts will be, uh, for both basketball, also kind of in-floor stan- uh, stands for, uh, volleyball. Um, we're also looking, uh, at, kind of, in... uh, some more overheads. Uh, uh, I believe we talked about, uh, wrestling mats, uh, being suspended as well as, uh, um, we talked about, uh, batting cages as well, uh, in there. And then the orange portion to... next to it, it's the w-
weight room addition to the building. Uh, it's about 7,000 square feet compared to the existing that is, uh, I believe 3,700 square feet of the weight room, so almost double the size of the existing room. Uh, also, it's more of a, kind of, not as long and skinny, so observation and being able to see, uh, what's going on is going to be much easier for safety of the students. And then to the left of that, in the bl- bluish color, that is going to be the
wrestling room, uh, which can accommodate three mats. Uh, we are currently showing the largest mats that you can get. Obviously, you can go smaller, uh, and, uh, there's still going to be enough walking space, uh, next to it. Uh, and then walking space into the maroon portion of the, uh, plan, which is locker rooms for the wrestling here. Uh, so there'll be locker rooms, uh, restrooms, showers, as well as, uh, some office spaces for
the, uh, wrestling coaches, and wrestler and coaches will have their own restroom and s- uh, shower as well. And then to the left of that is that, uh, k- greenish portion. That is going to be the addition to the lobby space of the auditorium. So just to gre- give it, the addition, a little bit more breathing room and create a little bit more of a gathering space, whether you're waiting for your kids for the wrestling or waiting to get into the performing arts, uh, for the auditorium for the play, uh, that is going to be kind of the gathering
space. And then that gray cor- uh, uh, portion on the north, that's going to be kind of one of the main circulation routes, uh, uh, on there. Uh, any questions about kind of overall layout? So- Mm-hmm. ... to the bottom, like the gray area to the bottom, to like the left of the end of the basketball and the... that area, is that like a pick-up, drop-off, like a traffic flow area?
Exactly. Okay. So that is part of that parking lot, uh, that we're replacing some of the spaces, and this is also where, kind of you can drop off, uh, your grandma, kind of or anybody else that needs to be dropped off right by the auditorium, especially for those events there. So we're not adding e- an additional exit onto, what would that be, Shelby Street? That's correct. We're not adding any additional exits. Okay. Oh, public restrooms. Yes. So if there's an event in that purple space, what are the public
restrooms that will be used? Yes. So right above the weight room, the orange portion, there is that maroon portion, that is the public restrooms that are available for people. So it's both men, women, and a family restroom as well.Okay. And that is a little bit of a blow up of the kind of locker room layouts, uh, there. So as you can see we've got both lockers, showers, uh, and all the showers are going to
be individual showers so that's... there's bigger chance that kids will actually shower, uh, there. Okay. And then that yellow portion of, um, that's called a stair, uh, to the north. You currently have an underground vault, uh, that houses some of your electrical equipments down there. We're going to preserve that vault there and this is just kind of the way to get down there, uh, and it's
gone. Okay. And these are some of the, uh, early renderings of the additions, so the portion to the right in the brick color, that is your existing pool. Uh, and then to the south of that, uh, looks a little bit more washed out on this rendering. It's not going to be white; it's going to be in kind of more of those taupe colors that you currently have on the, some portions of the school. Um, and then, uh, so that is going to be the, the, uh, student activity center.
That little bit blue ribbon across the top, that is going to be windows, uh, so that's how you get natural light into the student activity center. Uh, and then, uh, the little portion with the cardinal on it, that's going to be one of the entrances into, uh, the field house. So if you're parking, uh, in the existing parking lot, you still are able to get into the building. Kind of you don't have to go all the way around the building. Uh, and this is kind of a little bit more of a up-front view-
(coughs) ... of the e- entrance. We're trying to take notes from your, some of the entrances, especially the front entrance of the building, but those red accents, uh, that you have, um, then kind of moving around. And then as you kind of move further, uh, into the building, uh, there is... we're switching back into more of a brick portion of the building to, uh, kind of be, uh, a little bit more m- blending into the existing conditions, uh, and those kind of vertical windows, they both go into the new weight room
and the wrestling room as well. And then that little bit of a red portion, that is, uh, the new entrance into the auditorium, uh, as well. So again, keeping up with that red portion, kind of highlighting the entrances around the building. Okay. Any questions about Southport before I move to, uh, Perry Meridian? No?
Okay. Sounds great. So this is the addition to, um, Perry Meridian High School. Uh, everything in blue is the new square footage for the building. Uh, main differences between the Southport and Perry Meridian for phase one is, A, we don't have a auditorium lobby, uh, in th- here just because it's not right next to the auditorium, and then the other main difference is that we do not have locker rooms in phase one of this, uh, building addition just because there are already
lockers right next to this addition that we will be renovating in phase two of this addition, and they will become wrestling lockers. (coughs) And then, uh, we are doing a much less phase on the site, uh, but you can see the new drive to the west of the building with a few parking spots, uh, to the west, as well as a little bit of a detention, again, uh, that green portion, um- (coughs) ... not shaped, uh, portion that is the dry detention, uh, again, dealing with
storm water on the site. Um, and then, uh, relocating pole vaults going down by the track. What's... though they're still- (coughs) ... a little bit inflexed about kind of where exactly they will go, uh, but we are still accounting for all of them. Then, uh, a very similar, well, exactly the same layout for the student activity center, uh, with four courts and a jogging track around this. Uh, the weight room, uh, is also the same size as Southport, uh, your existing
weight room is about 4,000 square feet, I believe. Uh, the new one is 7,000, but the new one does not have those pillars in the middle of the weight room. Again, improving disability, improving safety, uh, in the space. Uh, and then the blue portion is the wrestling room with, uh, the offices and, m- uh, m- uh, some other support spaces, and then, uh, sorry, it's not highlighted as much, but let me point it on the screen.
Uh, this corner right here, this is where we have the public restrooms, again, men, women, and a family restroom as well. All right. Hmm. To- to the left of the weight room? Is that- Uh- ... where the restroom? To the left of the wrestling room, The wrestling room. Sorry. Yes. Yep. And then, uh- Can I ask a question, Misha? I'm sorry. M- maybe if you go back. I'm just trying to visualize what is currently there. Mm-hmm. Like, so the pool is what juts out
there-... on the, on the right. Is that correct? Uh, let's see. Can I actually do something? That's the pool. So we're not losing those lovely pool doors. (laughs) Yes. Here? Yes. Okay. Uh, this is the auxiliary gym. So the auxiliary gym. There is an entrance here with- Uh-huh. ... a little bit of a projection. We will have to take that out just to create a straight hallway, uh, and then the entry there, there is kind of a storage shed, but it's a ... um, just a courtyard.
Yeah. Okay. And the auxiliary gym, we're not losing any space in that gym. Correct? Okay. So- Correct. The auxiliary- Are those wrestling rooms currently nothing? Yes. It's just an open courtyard. Courtyard? Okay, thank you. See if that increases it. Ah. Thank you. Thank you. Mm-hmm. Okay.
And this is just kind of a 3D visualization of the school. We're working more with, uh, beiges and taupes, uh, and blues here, just ag- again, to complement the existing school colors of the building, and then going with accents around the entrances into the buildings. Uh, the main material of both, uh, student activities centers is going to be pre-cast concrete, uh, so it's kind of big panels that you see being erected and brought on site, and then, uh,
erected and kind of put in, on the building. And we'll have the same ribbon, uh, of the windows on top of the, uh, wall there. That is ... Which way do those windows face? These will be south-facing, and we will have, uh, b- window blinds there as well. So, yes. And this is view looking at, uh, the, uh, weight room to the right, and then kind of another entrance there. Are we planning on, uh, hardwood floors for all four courts?
Uh, currently we are talking about synthetic flooring for all of it, so it's a similar s- synthetic all the way through, so it can be used for a multitude of activities, uh, so from band and color guard and basketball, volleyball, anything. Okay. So yeah, this is kind of a, a little bit of a better view of kind of the entrance and the doors onto the pool and kind of the pool itself
there. Okay. Um, I have just ... and I apologize to, I think, Colin, it may have been you who responded to a question we had last week about the drainage at Perry Meridian High School kind of being that L-shape- Mm-hmm. ... as opposed to maybe kind of just a straight rectangle as far to the, uh, west as, I think it was west, west as possible to kind of preserve as much green space as possible there. Um, you had indicated or, or someone had indicated that that is possible, but because of the grade, it could be more
expensive because the amount that it would take. Do we ... I think I ... may have responded or forgot to respond. Mm-hmm. Do we, when we talk about more, are we talking tens, hundreds of thousands of dollars? It's pretty vague right now, just again- Mm-hmm. ... just because of the way that's shaped, it, it really eats up into that green space straight south. Yes. As opposed to squeezing it over and, um, we need as much green space for those kinds of activities as possible. Mm-hmm. So we can definitely take a look at that and kind of, if there is desire on the owner's side to kind of explore more into that, then yeah,
we will start working with our civil engineer to see what it actually would mean for us. Okay. I know we don't want to d- necessarily do that as a, as a alternate- Yes. ... um, but I think it's understanding kind of what that impact is- Mm-hmm. ... and being able to weigh that against that amount of green space there, especially when we are trying to squeeze in discus and shot and- Mm-hmm. ... and those kinds of things. Yep. No. I think, yeah, that's great idea. We'll start exploring that. Okay. All right, and I'll turn it over
to David to talk more about schedule. Thank you, Misha. Um, again, my name is David Yancy with the Skillman Corporation. We're the construction managers, and, uh, my plan today is try to capture six months of work and activity within a few minutes in regards to the schedule and the budget. So I like to start big picture and then narrow it down to the details. So what you see here, primarily for South Port High School, I think the key components here is that we broke
down South Port High School into three phases. The first phase is obviously the activity center, and we started those efforts this past summer until today where we're just finalized our schematic design estimate and finishing up our design development estimate. And I think the critical points here is that the red bar that you see for all three phases is the construction timeline. Uh, our plan is to start the activity centers first, and the reason for that is because it's the longest duration. It's gonna take around 23, 24 months to
build-Um, and that's, uh, to allow us to get the pre-cast, the structural steel, and those long lead item components. Uh, and within that, you will see the other two phases within those 23, 24 months. So, our objective is to start the long, uh, construction project first and then within the duration, uh, start the construction process with phase two and phase three, with ultimately finishing all three phases by the fall of (smacks lips) Similar, uh, to South
Port, Perry Meridian, uh, we also broke that out into three phases, which the first phase is the activity center. Again, the longest duration. Building in those two phases within phase one, the activity center. Uh, the only nuance with Perry Meridian is that we staggered the construction start dates from Perry Meridian, uh, two months after South Port to allow our contractors to be able to adequately bid each project, uh, give time to Lancer to dedicate for Perry and South Port, and also be able to,
uh, allow those contractors to adequately, uh, obtain the bidding documents in appropriate times. So, uh, but with that, all three phases, again, is planned to finish by the fall of (smacks lips) Um, I think you've seen this before. I know for sure you've seen this before, but, uh, I wanna remind you that a few months ago, uh, we came before you and got approval for, uh, the budget for these projects and, uh, for South Port High School, you approved a $75.8 million budget. And within that is obviously
building additions, interior renovations and infrastructure. Same with Perry Meridian, you approved 59.3 million, which also includes building additions, interior renovations and infrastructure. With both projects in our GMP cost, that totals around $175 million. The reason why we bring that up to you tonight is because that $175 million framework gives us the parameters to where we design and estimate our projects. So, that is the litmus test on how we're doing in regards to our
estimate and helping out Lancer to make sure we right size, uh, our estimates and, and design. (smacks lips) The reason why I bring that up is to give you an idea of where we are today. Uh, first is schematic design. Uh, the objective for the schematic design is to really understand your building components in regards to the square footage, building systems, electrical, lighting, HVAC systems and all, how that all right size and works together. Uh, we completed that schematic design, we completed that
estimate, we were over budget, and then we had to do a little bit of, uh, right sizing and, uh, redefining those square footages without losing programs. So you still have your field house, you still have your weight room, et cetera, uh, but again, we're now under budget around over $600,000 and that was a collective effort with Dr. Spray, his team, Lancer and Skillman. (smacks lips) Uh, we still have a lot of work to do. Uh, our next step is the design development estimate. We should be finalizing that by the end of this week and hopefully
reviewing that with Lancer's team and, uh, Dr. Spray and his team by next week after the Thanksgiving holiday. After the design development, we'll have the final design documents or construction documents starting at the beginning of the new year and obviously, uh, with Perry Merid- Perry Meridian, as I stated before, two months staggering South Port, so having those final design documents in March 2026 to go out to bid. (smacks lips) To give you an idea of where we are in
regards to our estimate and budget for phase one of both South Port and Perry Meridian, working left to right you have your bid packages, so this is all phase one. And included in phase one is obviously South Port High School, the activity center. Included in that project is the electrical infrastructure and then we'll also have another bid event of Perry Meridian mechanical infrastructure and a third bid event for a Perry Meridian activity center. So three total bid events for phase one and within that is the budget, working right, the budget that you
approved that gives us the parameters and the framework to work within and this is your direct construction costs and all three bid events totals to around $56.3 million from our schematic design estimate. Again, working right, uh, we are at $55.7 million, uh, right now in regards to direct construction costs so those are costs that you're going to see at bid time and again, we're around roughly over $600,000 right now. Um, you won't see those direct construction costs because that's just the cost of construction.
Uh, what you're going to see, uh, come before you for a GMP approval is three separate guaranteed maximum prices and that includes, that's your total cost of construction, your bonds and insurance, your general conditions et cetera included with the direct construction cost. So, we'll come to you once for an anticipated GMP, again this is an estimate but our anticipated GMP for the South Port activity center and electrical infrastructure for $32.5 million. Uh, the Perry Meridian mechanical infrastructure for $3.9 million for the second bid event and the third bid
event will be the Perry Meridian activity center which will equate to $63.2 million, again still under budget as of today.And lastly, uh, what's next, uh, so at the beginning of the new year is really, uh, the time to get... Uh, we're really getting geared up to get going with, uh, bidding and construction. So we anticipate, uh, receiving bid documents in a staggered format. So working left to right, you see Southport, that's the Southport timeline, the infrastructure
timeline, and the Perry Meridian timeline. So receiving 100% documents for Southport, beginning of the new year, the infrastructure towards the end of February, and the beginning of March, we'll receive the construction documents for Perry Meridian. The contractors will be able to obtain those documents at the end of January for Southport, beginning of March for the infrastructure package, and the end of March for Perry Meridian. And then we'll bid those projects, staggering them. The middle of February will be Southport, beginning of April, infrastructure
package, and then the end of April will be Perry Meridian. And then we'll come before you to award the bids and the guaranteed maximum price for Southport March 9th, beginning of March, mid-April for the infrastructure package, and then, uh, May 11th for Perry Meridian. The very next day, once you hopefully give us the approval, we're gonna send out a notice to our contractors to say the board approves, uh, your contracts. We can get started, um, with submittals and procuring material the very next day, and we anticipate p- uh,
completing construction again May 2028 for Southport and July 2028 for the infrastructure package and Perry Meridian. Any questions? So with that schedule, the class of 2027 graduation's gonna be a challenge... i- in, on that site (laughs) We'll try to minimize it as much as possible, but yes (laughs) Yeah, I know you will, In regard to the timing, I'm sure this is not really a, a problem on y'all's side, but is there any way that the academic or the
phase two things could be integrated into phase one? Because, I mean, especially for Southport, we've had them come over and share that the teachers had carts and didn't have classrooms, and the students with special needs were not where they needed to be. They're on the second floor. So is there any way to change that now, or is it too late? I think we can- Sorry to put you on the spot. (laughs) No, it's totally fine. I think we can go back to the drawing board and talk about that. But our main premise is to finish all at the same time, and the, the way we can achieve that is starting with a long duration first and
work that in. But, uh, again, we'll talk to Dr. Spray and Lancer Team to see if we could work that out or tweak that if possible. Yeah. Thank you. Yeah, I don't think we can adjust the start date of phase one, but maybe take a look at what we can do to kind of, um, shorten that length of completion or, or speed up the, the front end of phase two. Um, there's a lot of work to do in that too, especially at Southport when we're talking about all that infrastructure. Um, that's gonna take some time just because that, um... 'Cause the historic, um, Southport field house has historic plumbing as well- (laughs)
... so it's, it's gonna be a challenge engineering-wise and to work around that too, but we'll definitely have that. And we've already, just, uh, as a point of information, they've already started working on some of those floor plans and designs for phase two and really have some pretty, um, um, good concepts of what that work's gonna look like. So it, we, we don't wait until phase one's completely done to start that design process. These guys are actually kind of winding up their, their work in getting started on, on the other piece right now. Um, I have a question, and please don't hear my
question as a, um, a- attack, I guess, because I don't live in this world and you do, so I trust that you, (clicks tongue) you know better. Um, but I know that, like, when we've bid roofs before, for example, we've bid multiple schools at one time because maybe we could get better pricing. So on the field houses, especially since they're identical, um, is it appropriate? Like, is there... I- is it just because they're so large in scope that we're bidding at two different times? Those two phases are massive and to,
uh... We wanna allow contractors to be able to have the time to adequately bid those projects. I think bidding them at the same time will not do the community and the school district justice, because, uh, we won't have as much participation for one school over the other. I think staggering it and starting it, uh, construction around the same time, uh, optimizes your dollars. So we look... We're looking to have probably two different contractors or different team or different companies working on...
Or do you think that there's enough time that w- it's giving them time to space out? Got it. Okay. Staggering the bid events allows the same contractor to work on both schools. Okay. I l- I l- I like the same contractor. Like- Even though we're bidding separately- I'm sure you like the same contractor (laughs) . ... we're starting them at time, around the same time. Okay. I think one of the things to, to think about, it takes a, a minute, is that if the contractors don't have a sufficient amount of time to really look at the design, the bids, the specs, and that kind of stuff, and they get in a hurry, they're gonna estimate high, um, so they don't take it on the
chin. And that typically will push bids up and, and a- rather than we want 'em to be able to have the information, take their time, and give them the... Give us their best bid on bid day. Absolutely correct. And this might be more in-house, uh, question, but, um, first of all, I appreciate the... In this process, it sounds like we've included stakeholders along the way of, um, you know, what sorts of things do you want, what is reality within the budget. Um, but going back when we were first discussing these renovations, are the... Not the minutiae, but are the
main...... projects all still, uh, part of these three phases? Is ... Nothing has been taken out that was originally considered at the beginning? Correct. Uh, every opportunity that we were trying to provide for students is still in the project. Perfect. Yeah. And we worked on some finishings, um, and, and other things to get that price down, uh, within our budget. Uh, but we did not take any opportunities away that would serve our students. Okay. That team was very cognizant of understanding that if you go
over-scope on phase one, there's a very good chance that you're not gonna get what you need in phase three. And so, we wanna make sure that we made those decisions correctly from the beginning. What kind of, uh, contingency percentage is built into those ... Uh, there's a CMC, construction contingency, of 2%. Okay. And those details obviously still need to be finaln- finalized with, uh, Dr. Spray and the team. Is that typically like, an industry standard that you ... Around 2% to 3%, yes sir.
Wow. That's great. W- and, and the delivery method that we're using gets to that guaranteed maximum price. And so, um, Skillman will hold the contracts. Um, rather than the school corporation holding those contracts, we'll have one contract with Skillman. I'm looking at these guys and seeing if their head's going up and down or if they need to correct me, 'cause I'm f- totally fine with that. (laughs) That is correct. Um, is that ... And so they guarantee that maximum price and bring that to us. And so that takes some of that potential volatility and puts it more on them, um, than on the school
corporation. But we'll still have some decision-making opportunities on how we spend those funds goin- going throughout. Absolutely. Brad'll find all kinds of that for us. (laughs) Is it possible for us to get those ... Uh, we'll get you in a PDF version emailed out tomorrow. Perfect. Thank you. Yes. We're a little short on time on getting the presentations and getting copies, so ... Perfect. Thank you. And if anybody would prefer a hard copy, we can print those on, what, 11 by 17s, what we have. So ... Kent says, "No color," though. (laughs)
(laughs) Ask him. I do wanna bring up, if we could go back, I don't know, um, David, if it's in your presentation, go back a little bit to the, um, Southport, um, layout, the, the site plan. That might be it, yeah. Okay. Thanks, Matt. So ... And I, um, have a document for you kinda outlining some of this that I'll, that I'll share, and I've, I've provided this with, uh, Mr. Hernandez as well. And so, um, one of the things that's sitting on Southport's site is a pole bu- pole building-
Oh. ... um, that was, um ... And, and giving kind of the, little bit of the history and the, um, worked with, um, Chris Sampson and, and Kirby back there. Kirby, I think, was an assistant principal at the time, what we're talking about, and then Dave Gettinger in our, um, facilities department as well. Um, there's a pole building on there that has been utilized, um, since 2016 for the baseball and softball teams to, to hi- hit and throw and, and practice pitching and that kind of stuff. It is a 40 by 72, um, pole
building, um, there. And so, um, kind of the chronology of this, in 2010, um, Mr. Hernandez, um, donated a, a, it w- was a used, um, p- pole building facility that was at Southport Little League, um, to Southport High School. The recommendation to accept it came from the then athletic director at Southport High School. Um, so that was in 2010. The materials were then, um ... The, the building was dismantled. The posts were cut off at ground level.
Um, the materials were then stored at Christie's Auction outdoors, um, for a period of about three years. Now, I'm looking for Kir- or Kirby to (laughs) , um, to check my facts. And then was moved then to a, um, Perry facility to be stored and part of that was stored inside at the time. Um, during that period of time, some of the materials de- deteriorated. In 2016, um, the administration, um, wanted that, um, building to be put back together and to service the, um, Southport, um, High School, um, as Mr.
Hernandez had, had intended for that to be. Um, due to the condition of the materials, um, basically everything had to be Not much could be used ex- with the exception of some equipment that was inside the prior building. So, we had about an $85,000 project for township at the time. Uh, resurrecting donated building. Um, so that happened in 2016. Um, currently, where the um, building
sits is right about where that traffic flow is, where you're close to the auditorium, up in that space. Um, not only is it kind of in the middle of the new parking range, utilities, also it's virtually impossible have a construction site around this, so that (coughs) Programing-wise, um, baseball/softball batting cages, pitching cages, et cetera, are program in the house. While it's not in a dedicated outside space, it is certainly programmed within the overall,
uh, project, both at, um, Southport High School and at Great Britain High School. In order for us not only taking a look at green space, that kind of thinking, I've talked with Skillman, um, to kind of get a little bit of an idea that, uh, someone has like, 3,000 feet of usable space for those purposes. Current code would also have the-...
picture, um, I don't want anybody to walk away and feel like that the donation and the thought and the intent of th- the original, um, ha- has been, um, disregarded in this aspect. The student use of the facility and the student program has continued to be a, a, a thoughtful piece of this. And so, I have some information, just some timeline to give you there. I think there's some opportunity to work together to recognize the family. Uh, Mr. Hernandez, you know, really d- wanted to make sure that was dedicated in, um, memoriam of his f- of his parents
who were, um, gave a lot back to Perry Township over their, their careers here. So again, just wanted to, um, you to understand that. That we've put a lot of time and effort and intent, um, with that and kind of see what would be and what the, the possibilities were. Um, and because I know he had to duck out, I, I don't want to speak for Mr. Hernandez but I know part of, um, his love of being on the board is, is showing appreciation for those donations whether it's time or money or w- different ways that
people, uh, donate. So, uh, just wanted to, on his behalf, say that he has had, continues to have a heart for this township and he really appreciates those who, uh, donate anything they can to our, our township and we definitely wanna, um, continue to show appreciation and appropriate for the week ahead, thanks to those people. Um, speaking of, um, I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving upcoming and with that, we are adjourned. (gavel clacks)
